How to Make Tortilla Dessert Cups

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Lightly coat one side of each 6-inch flour tortilla with nonstick cooking spray.
  4. Sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  5. Flip tortillas and repeat on the other side.
  6. Cut each tortilla into 4 wedges.
  7. Place one tortilla wedge, round edge down, into each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin, pressing gently to form the cup shape.
  8. Add a second tortilla wedge, overlapping the first to create a sturdy cup.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool completely in the muffin tin.
  11. While the tortilla cups are baking and cooling, prepare the filling:
  12. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  13. In a separate bowl, beat together the milk and instant pudding mix on low speed for 2 minutes, until well combined.
  14. Gradually add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture, beating on low speed until smooth and creamy.
  15. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping.
  16. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to set.
  17. Carefully remove the tortilla cups from the muffin tin.
  18. Fill each cup with about 3 tablespoons of the cream cheese pudding filling.
  19. Drizzle or pipe melted semi-sweet chocolate over the filling.
  20. Refrigerate for 5 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
  21. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
